[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Yes and no. For the case, he wants the stock ruu, you are right. But he wants to use his warranty, so needs the ruu of this provider. But the ruu he wants flash is older than the one he is running now. So he cannot flash the the ruu. And this problem cannot be avoided by using a goldcard, because the hboot version has nothing to do with the cid number.

On this way I at least understand the matter. Correct me, if I am wrong.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ']['en:
I have no warranty now & I have hads to replace the screen aswell, so Im not too bothered about running stock, which would you suggest? I havent bothered looking into modifying my bravo as i was happy with what i had.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Then create goldcard, put this in your desire and flash stock ruu. The stock ruu can you find here:

Ok will do, Im not running any linux machines here, so can i still create a goldcard without my phone?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
You do not need a running linux machine to boot linux. You can run ubuntu from a live cd:

ok thx, for help ill get knuckling down and report back soon..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
I know this tut works, because I tried it myself and I have a working goldcard.. maybe you just got the CID wrong?

you can get it from recovery using adb (bare with me, I know you're gonna say you can't get into recovery, but trying this way can't hurt)

boot into fastboot (I'm also assuming you have android SDK)

cd c:\android-sdk/tools
fastboot oem gencheckpt

adb shell cat /sys/class/mmc_host/mmc1/mmc1*/cid

write down the number meticulously without error, and try the tut above.

If you already have tried something similar or you know you got the right CID then well... bump from me lol

Here is a video of what my phone is doing: DesireBravo in BootLoop

Also I keep forgetting to mention that since the water damage I can only power the device from the usb cable, the battery is acting like its totally dead but i have measured it to be fine, but just expecting this to be some kind of glitch. I thought it might be worth mentioning as it could give some clues.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
that vid looks like your phone is receiving and losing power.. looks like some circuits are fried.. could try a different battery (don't buy one, just go to a shop and ask if you could try one)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ']['en:
ok, looking into it.....
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ']['en:
right ok, I have tried this tut b4, but let me clear what you do with cid..

say my cid is 112233445566778899AA, I then reverse this to: AA998877665544332211, AND THEN replace first two digits with 00, so my cid I use with goldcard img maker is: 00998877665544332211

Is this correct? as on the linux tutorial it says to use a hex reverse tool, that automatically reverses the cid to use with the img maker, and if i remember it does not identically mirror the number so its backwards but more like 124578AB to AB784512 and does not say to replace the first two values with 00?

Also is there some behaviour of the magiccard when inserted or is there nothing to see?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
yes that is correct. and no it works like any other storage disk.

Have you tried using a different sd-card? some SD's unfortunately will not work..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3lcior:
What i have seen on your youtube video, your battery or motherboard is damaged so gold card wont help you in anything whatsoever...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ']['en:
so is it agreed that from the way its acting it cant be anytrhing to do with software and the part that its resetting on cant be damaged (software)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
looks like it. Sorry dude.. I know how you must feel:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ']['en:
also how can i turn on without a battery? is the other two terminals on battery connected to a complicated circuit? cant they be fooled?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ']['en:
lol id rather have a good idea of what the problem is, i already wasted money on a new screen thinking it was shorting out, i think i see a new board on ebay for around the £40 mark, but only one at the time, hope more come up...

but i will try get hold of another battery first to try.... thanks all for your help :D
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
AFAIK you can't.. I'm guessing the connectors that the battery touches have something to do with it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ']['en:
ok, im gonna kick myself if I just wasted half a week messin about in linux and boxing my head in over goldcards Hboots and RUU's not to mention waitin for slow ass downloads, wasting money on a new screen, just for a £5 battery fix!

I just hooked up my bench psu up to battery terminals WITH my battery in supplying 3.7v and voila! my phone proceeds to boot! although once it gets so far an android battery popup (needs recharging) thephone shuts off, but I only suspect thats because the batteries onboard circuit is defective.

First thing in morning am off to buy a battery and ill let u guys know :D

wish Id posted video sooner lol!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Oh myyyy what a result! LOL
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ']['en:
Ok so all it took was a new battery, its just like me to presume the worst and overlook the simpler solutions. I would like to thank everyone that has replied and helped me, thankyou.

I count myself lucky really that no more damage was done, Although my original screen was permanently damaged from the water, I really needed to purchase the new screen anyway.

After seeing many threads, Im now interested in looking into some custom roms, so probably Ill be asking the question "What is our purpose in life??" when I should really be asking "What is 1+1=?" lol, when I get stuck...

Usually I do loads of reading and experimenting before asking for help anyway, and never need to ask for help lol..
[Thunderbolt General] ThatFool:
I once had a rooted Tb but when the first update came out it was unrooted. Now I am debating whether to root again. So are there any stable GB roms that won't brick my phone?
[Thunderbolt General] kazuma5401:
I thought das bamf was on top. I uprooted for a min as well. Waiting on my newest thunderbolt before I go back in. What happened to das bamf all over the board?
[Thunderbolt General] lostboy1952:
Some words were traded back and forth so Das BAMF pulled the plug on XDA. They can be found at teambamf.net
[Thunderbolt General] ThatFool:
Is das bamf the best one out there?
[Thunderbolt General] ILMF:
Opinions vary. Synergy, BAMF, Gingeritis 3d Beta VI (what I'm running), Th3ory's ROMS - all good. However, somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but only Synergy and Gingeritits currently have anything based on the new GB leak.

Chingy and Bamf can be found elsewhere. A quick google search will allow you to find their roms.
[Thunderbolt General] mstinson23:
Just a quick note...Th3ory is using the new leak for his ROMs.
[Thunderbolt General] ddgarcia05:
Are you looking for sense based roms or stock android? I see nothing wrong with CM7.

Does gingeritis beta IV have a working hotspot? the 1.2x ones weren't working for me.
[Thunderbolt General] nrfitchett4:
actually, Droidtheory did try the new base and it caused a lot of reboots (same with some of chingy's based on the new base), so he's using a hybrid base now. Very fast. Senseless build for now, with sense being an add on going forward. Aosp dialer, contacts, browser, sense 3.0 camera/ gallery. It's quite the mash up. So far its been very good with a couple of bugs he's working on.

[Thunderbolt General] JBO1018:
I didn't see anyone really answer this but no the bricking issue has not been resolved. However	, our trusted devs have come to the conclusion GB was never the problem. As far as I have been told ANY Thunderbolt can brick ANYTIME Rooted or not. Its been pretty well accepted from what I've seen that it is some sort of hardware failure probably caused by defective or off brand parts being used at some point. Regardless of what the cause is, it seems nobody is immune.

Edit: My point, LOL, was that you are just as safe using GB as you are Froyo. So no need to fret on that.

[Thunderbolt General] KeithLing1115:
I havent had any problem with any rom i flashed so far except the first time using RomManager. It sent me into a bootloop and I freaked out. Wasnt sure if pulling the battery would mess anything up so I just sucked it up, pulled the battery, flashed in recovery and all was well. Any time you're gonna update the radio do it youreself in hboot and you wont unroot yourself. Find the download here on xda and I have found the best one is the OTA MR2, on the east coast of the US that is. I'm loving CM7. I flashed everything and keep comeing back. Just the control CM7 gives you over your phone, imho, is unmatched. Oh and I think the Froyo roms have really not been paid as much attention in development anymore as Gingerbread has lately and rightfuly so. No one is developing PS2 games now that PS3 is here.

[Thunderbolt General] KnightCrusader:
When I got my Thunderbolt, I rooted it and tried BAMF Gingerremix, then Gingeritis, and then made the leap to CM7, and let me tell you, I am rocking this ROM and never looking back!

Like others have said, CM7 gives you control over your phone in many ways you can only dream of with Sense. I thought I would totally love rockin' a Sense ROM, but they were buggy and laggy to me. Plus, towards the end of using Gingeritis, I found myself replacing the launcher with LauncherPro and the clock widget with Beautiful Widgets, so I might as well cut all the extra UI junk out since I am replacing it anyway.

One of the big things I love about CM7 that I couldn't get in any Sense ROM was the easy toggle of 3G/4G to 3G-only. In the Sense ROMs, you'd get a shortcut to the phone menu to change the mode from a huge list of options. In CM7, its a Notification Power Widget and it works as soon as you click it - no extra menus.

That, and I love that I can get rid of the clock in the status bar with a simple click.
[Thunderbolt General] sonami:
It will work with mr2, but I think it works better with the new radio as its from the same new base as the rom

[Desire General] m4rtynn:
I downloaded the new 2.3 RUU as I wanted stock unrooted GB on desire.

I had/have oxygen R2 hboot on vodafone UK and I didnt make a goldcard (didnt think I needed one stupidly with an official RUU)

so I tried to run the RUU and now my screen is black with HTC logo and exclamation marks in all four corners.

is this now a bit fat brick or is there anything I can do?

please help.. :(
[Desire General] bortak:
don't panick. Just flash this RUU
[Desire General] m4rtynn:
but will i need a goldcard to run this RUU?
[Desire General] k3lcior:
If you are branded, yes.
[Desire General] m4rtynn:
how can I make one when I have zero functionality with my phone? I can only see recovery screen :/
[Desire General] bortak:
That's a vodafone RUU, it works for my phone, it will work for yours, so AFAIK you don't need a goldcard to use that one.

Turn off your phone (battery pull), hold back + power which will boot you into fastboot mode, then run the RUU from your pc (plug your phone via usb obviously)
[Desire General] bortak:
you'd only need a goldcard if you are unbranding a phone i.e. having a vodafone one and running a WWE RUU.. if you have the right RUU you don't need one.. since the CID et. etc. matches the RUU.
[Desire General] m4rtynn:
i cant get into fastboot.

Only a black screen with HTC logo in middle and exclamation marks in 4 corners. Where it usually says "HBOOT" etc it just Says RUU

tried running the one you sent and it just fails with a 152 Image Error :(
[Desire General] bortak:
yeah thats what happens, but you should still be able to get fastboot* (*I think), and then flash it..

okay when this happened to my phone, I ran the HTC Europe RUU, which finished installing and restored my hboot (no idea why), then I was able to flash recovery and simply flash a new ROM from there. You can try it. No promises though.
[Desire General] m4rtynn:
i Cant get fastboot as far as I'm aware - I tried getting into it I just get the HTC logo and when I unplug from PC I get recovery looking page (white screen) but it just says RUU and nothing else?!
[Desire General] bortak:
umm yeah it doesn't say fastboot USB, says RUU.. meaning you need to flash a RUU. Keep trying.. maybe you'll find one that works for me (I did the trial and error method lol)

Hi there,

sorry, a quick question regards to the custom ROMS, you mentioned if I am going to apply the AT&T ROMs, I need to apply custom kernels,

but in eval-'s thread, he mentioned:

So can I just apply his kernel on the AT&T firmware?

Cheers,
[Atrix 4G General] Foka002:
Well I tried eval kernel few times and long time ago. For every rom I had it I used faux kernel so it's safer to use it with recent roms.

Hi thanks for the time and effort but I was hoping someone could help me.Trying to follow the guide but having trouble with two parts.Firstly when running pudding through rsd how long exactly do you leave it?It says to leave it at android lockscreen but rsd dhows as not finished like 38% rebooting at this time/Also when to connect or disconnect is confusing as I read a guide previously to yours am not sure if phone gets disconnected after rsd?Lastly and I think my most serious problem is that I cant get the fastboot command to work.It will either say unable to find the path specified or no command on internal or external etc.Any ideas?Thanks

[Atrix 4G General] deech:
Just to ask / add

There is going to be an official Orange OTA update isnt there? I could do it this way but for a change want to try it the offical way :)
[Atrix 4G General] Foka002:
In order to use fastboot you need to have motorola drivers installed. Im not sure about eds but if your device is recognised then it is fine. Im not sure about waiting time in rsd but if you did fallow this guide step by step you shouldn't have any problems.

Roberts56

Yes you will be able to flash gingerbread but you won't be able to use official OTA unless you downgrade to 2.2.2 using fruitcake method. The thing is if you want to play with custom roms then there is no point in waiting for official release because its not going to be any better than any rom we've got now. Just keep in mind once you unlock your bootloader you will lose warranty.

Uk OTA is coming for sure but I have no idea when. Rumours says in sep/oct

Noob questions

Do I need to root before I flash this ROM? Because I don't have an SD card I'm a bit confused if I can do this or not. Once flashed to Orange France 2.3.4, if the OTA comes through what should I do? Accept? Decline? I'm very doubtful that Motocrap will update us to ICS, so can we update to ICS manually if I flash right now? Finally, if I do Brick, what can I do? I don't have insurance. Can I backup to a PC? I want something that no matter what happens I can restore to. Thanks for the answers ( if I get any :P )

ROOTING – If you running froyo (2.2.2) I have used gingerbreak method which is very easy:

1.Download Gingerbreak.exe from here:http://api.viglink.com/api/click?for...ingerBreak.exe

1.Make sure you have got debugging mode ON(settingsApplications Development) and you have installed drivers for your atrix

2.Run Gingerbreak.exe on your pc

3.In your phone you will find new app called gingerbreak – run it and select root. Mobile will reboot itself once is done.

4.Congratulation you are rooted.

NOTICE: You need to have External SD Card and also be aware that rooting this way will format your internal storage.

Ok that sound as simple as falling of a bike.

So I have followed those instructions to the letter.

Gingerbreak now says " exploiting

Running exploit

This may take a few minuites

Device will reboot on success

It's been sat saying that now for 30 minutes

Exactly how long does it take?

I have put the very latest drivers in 5.2.0 from motorola & formatted my SD card.

Where am i going wrong?
